Abstract
A manipulator mechanism for handling small electronic components consists of a number of pairs of fingers, each pair being movable independently and being capable of being used for electrically testing the component. The mechanism can position the component accurately above its required location on a printed circuit board and movable push rods are used to insert the electrical leads of the component into their required positions.
